No. 9 Baylor 80, Savannah State 50: Reserve Taurean Prince got 12 of his 15 points in the first half to lead Baylor (12-1) over Savannah State (2-12) last night for its 12th consecutive home victory.

Joshua Montgomery made four three-pointers in the first half and scored 15 points for Savannah State.

Baylor improved to 25-9 in January since 2009-10. The Bears’ only loss this season was to then-No. 8 Syracuse in Hawaii in November.

“It’s just a learning process, and I’m just trying to find where I fit and try to be the best at what I do,” said Prince, a sophomore. In his freshman year, he played in 24 games and didn’t start any of them. He has played in all 12 of the Bears’ games this season without making a start.

On Monday, Prince came off the bench and scored 16 in Baylor’s 81-55 victory over Oral Roberts. Not being in the starting lineup isn’t a concern of his.

Jefferson hit a three-pointer — his second of the game and fourth of the season — to give Baylor a 45-28 lead with 1:41 left in the first half, and the Bears led 46-30 at the break.

Both teams struggled after halftime. Baylor scored just five points in the first five minutes. Savannah State was held scoreless until Jeremiah Hill’s jumper in the lane with 14:12 left. At that point, Baylor led 51-32.
